Jiang Ping was fearless, backed by three Supreme Artifacts, and even the Qingling Palace couldn't do anything to him.
If they really want to coerce us, we can just pack up and leave.
I don't want to go to the Jade Palace Prefecture, but the Five Thunder Hall is a good place. Zhang Daowei about to become Dao Monarch, and with the Ancestral Artifact above him, he is definitely safer than Qingling.
He possesses a fragment of that Supreme Artifact of the Dao system, which can serve as a stepping stone.
Cui Yue looked at the junior's attitude with a complicated expression.
However, the other party had the confidence to act recklessly. Their strength was already comparable to Peerless of an ordinary True Saint, and with the protection of Supreme Artifact, even the Qingling, a supreme Aristocratic Family, was not easy to bully.
Besides, he wasn't there to pressure the other party.
Cui Yue sighed and said, "Killing Zhu Ming is no big deal. Qingling Palace won't make things difficult for you because of this. In a while, I'll find you a steward position. With your abilities, it would be a waste for you to remain an ordinary guest elder."
Jiang Ping remained silent. Not only was he not punished for murder, but he was also to be "promoted."
However, he also knew that everything depended on strength. If he didn't have Supreme Artifact, Qi Shan would have already reduced him to ashes.
Rather than saying that Cui Yue wanted to keep him, it would be more accurate to say that he wanted to keep several Supreme Artifacts from him.
As long as others belong to the Qingling, he will definitely contribute if there is a war in this Dao system in the future. Correspondingly, the Supreme Artifact in his hands will become a powerful external aid.
Jiang Ping thought for a moment and said, "What about my grudge with Zhu Xuan? If he comes seeking revenge in the future, should I kill him or not?"
"Forehead..."
Cui Yue was speechless for a moment. This young junior really had a big mouth!
Zhu Xuan would certainly not swallow this insult, but if he were to seek revenge, it would probably be a hundred years later, when this person had already reached the Dao Monarch level.
At that time, it's still uncertain who will prevail.
Thinking of this, he gave Jiang Pingping a deep look and said, "Your grudge with that True Disciple isn't a big deal. Xiao Ran, Su Beichen, and Fang Xin are all on your side. If that person wants to cause you trouble in the future, they'll have to think twice."
"As long as you stay safely in Qingling, no one inside will dare to mess with you again."
"Oh."
Jiang Ping nodded slightly. In fact, he had never cared about this grudge. At present, Zhu Xuan was being suppressed and killed by him, and this would not change in the future.
"Alright, that's settled. Let's wait a few days before moving to Qingdi City."
Cui Yue wanted to secure a position for this junior, not in Nine Clouds City, but in Qingdi City Qingling.
He continued, "I heard from Lu Cun that you want to enter the Heavenly Heart Cave. Well, the 200,000 contribution points will be waived this time. Come when it opens in a while, and we'll follow the rules next time."
"Okay."
Jiang Ping raised an eyebrow. This Venerable was truly generous, bestowing upon him a cultivation Blessed Land for free.
He couldn't possibly remain silent in response, so he immediately tossed over a Storage Ring.
Cui Yue caught it and examined it. He was immediately moved. It was full of fragments of Supreme Artifact, more than twenty pieces in total. Moreover, one of the cauldrons was almost completely pieced together, but it was heavily demonic, and the Artifact Spirit seemed to have been corrupted in some way.
Cui Yue, however, did not take it seriously. Relying on Qingling's resources, he could wear away the demonic nature of the cauldron, and then it would become a powerful and useful Dao weapon.
He looked up, feeling a mix of emotions. These items were incredibly valuable, almost equal to the total value of the fragments donated by several True Disciples.
Jiang Ping didn't care. He had already planned to dispose of these fragments to prevent them from being stolen by the Broken Sword again.
"Yes, Qingling will give you the corresponding contribution points in a few days. Just wait."
After saying this, Cui Yue hurriedly left. The higher-ups of Qingling still had matters to discuss. Zhu Ming's death was just a minor incident. Whether it was the certain item that almost caused the four Dao system to turn against each other, or the emergence of the Five Elements Dao Monarch, these were the most important matters that needed to be dealt with seriously.
Not long after.
Jiang Ping looked at the contribution points on his Identity Token; it totaled 340,000.
He already had over 70,000 contribution points, and after the Venerable waived the contribution points for this Heavenly Heart Cave event, he gained over 200,000 more.
He can now be considered extremely wealthy.
At this moment, the blood on the ground of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion was still wet. The disciples looked at this guest elder with changed eyes, all showing awe.
The Upper True Disciple was killed by this man, yet he not only escaped unscathed but was also rumored to be promoted. What power and influence!
The Spirit Treasure Pavilion steward was already feeling uneasy. He had just helped the dead Zhu Ming cheat the other party out of contribution points; would he incur their wrath?
The steward was ice-cold all over. If Jiang Pingping were to attack him, Lu Cun probably wouldn't dare to utter a single word.
Fortunately, the other party didn't hold it against him; they simply asked him a question:
"Is there any legendary evil spirit?"
The deacon immediately adopted a fawning expression and nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, we have some."
As he spoke, the steward of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion took out two jade bottles. "These are the White Tiger Baleful Qi and the Golden Crow Baleful Qi."
"A total of 20,000 contribution points."
"Only 20,000?"
Jiang Ping raised an eyebrow. These legendary-level evil spirits were all quite valuable, and 10,000 contribution points were definitely not enough to exchange for one of them.
The steward quickly explained, and he was relieved.
"Senior Jian Chen is very thoughtful."
Jiang Ping nodded.
After he arrived in Qingling, the white-haired True Saint took good care of him. Before, when he wanted to go to the ruins to collect herbs in advance, Lu Cun wouldn't even let him in the door. It was this person who came out of the predicament.
I will definitely repay this favor in the future.
Without giving it any further thought, Jiang Ping took the two portions of the talisman and drifted away.
He must enter Heavenly Heart Cave, but he cannot delay studying the <Human Emperor Scripture>.
Qingdi Mountain.
The senior officials gathered again in the council hall.
Venerable Qi Shan said indignantly, "Not only are you not punishing Jiang Pingping, but you, Cui Yue, actually want to promote her and make her a steward in Qingdi City?"
Before Cui Yue could answer, Elder Ming, the most senior member of the family, spoke first:
"That's settled then. Let's not say any more. That junior possesses several Supreme Artifacts, which will be a great help to my Qingling."
"Elder Ming, are you really going to discourage this junior just because of a few Supreme Artifact?"
Zhu Xuan had barely regained his human form through the nourishment of spiritual objects; his face was pale and he was somewhat angry.
His own younger brother died, he was severely injured, and his master's Supreme Artifact was destroyed, yet this matter was simply swept under the rug?
Elder Ming fell silent for a moment. He knew very well that Zhu Xuan was one of his own, and moreover, the future Dao Monarch.
However, the other party is protected by Supreme Artifact, and Qingling can do nothing about it. At most, both sides will be injured, and she will also become enemies with the other party. It would be inappropriate to really break off relations.
Moreover, Jiang Pingping had already offered up many fragments of Supreme Artifact, including a Destruction Demon Cauldron, which could be considered sincere.
Elder Ming thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "You wait here. In a few days, I will open the Ancestral Land so you can recuperate. I estimate you will be fully recovered in three to five days."
Zhu Xuan fell silent. The Qingling Ancestral Land was the foundation of the Qingling, and it was not easily opened. In the past, only Dao Monarch were qualified to enter this extremely secret place.
That place is very suitable for cultivating the Qingling inheritance method. It was the secluded cultivation place of the former Qingling Founder. The Longevity Qi is very strong and has a miraculous effect on healing and health preservation.
But that wasn't all. Elder Ming continued, "Once you've recovered from your injuries, you and Wang Ping will set off together for the Flying Immortal Sacred Land in the Divine Continent. This holy land owes Senior Qingling a huge favor from the bloody battle back then. The two of you cultivating there will speed up your breakthrough to the Heavenly Pass."
I disagree!
Elder Ming finished speaking than a female Venerable spoke up in rebuttal.
Her face darkened as she said, "Elder Ming, you personally promised that you would only use this favor after Xiao Ran and Su Beichen have overcome the True Saint Tribulation."
Elder Ming shook his head and sighed, "Times have changed. The Five Elements Dao Monarch has emerged from the neighboring Yu Province, so Qingling cannot remain indifferent."
"Jiang Pingping's matter has made me realize even more that Qingling Palace must produce a true pillar of strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, if something like this happens again, Qingling will have to continue to appease others and be subservient to them, just like we are now."
